Ooh! Another extra APOD ping. Thanks again.

What’s with all this planet ludditeism? There are heavenly bodies out there that we weren’t able to detect before.
We may have lots of planets to discover. I’m looking forward to finding out what their names are going to be, and
how many of them there are. They’re not exactly in the comfort zone of the Sun, but once they’re terraformed, we
can probably populate all of them eventually.

I dream of a planet for all the communists. They won’t last long, but they’ll be out of our hair for a few generations.
